Scoring by the nonpartisan Center for Health and Economy finds that, compared to Obamacare, the 2017 Project’s “Winning Alternative to Obamacare” would save $1.13 trillion in federal spending, reduce premiums, increase access to doctors, and lead to 6 million more people having private health insurance.

Republicans can bring about Obamacare’s full repeal if they advance a winning alternative that fixes the unfairness in the tax code, deals sensibly with preexisting conditions, and doesn’t disrupt the typical American’s employer-based insurance.

To get to repeal, conservatives should advance an alternative to Obamacare that revitalizes the individual market—which the federal government long ago broke—without disrupting the typical American’s employer-based plan.

The Obamacare battle may come down to this: Can conservatives advance an alternative that deals with both coverage and costs and therefore invites full repeal, or can liberals explain how they’d somehow reform the notoriously unpopular overhaul?

Coalescing around an Obamacare alternative that avoids two major political pitfalls can lead to the full repeal of Obamacare—and hence to “a crucial victory for the cause of America’s governing ideals in the 21st century.”

The Burr-Coburn-Hatch alternative to Obamacare is a strong proposal both substantively and politically, and conservatives should spread the word that it addresses costs, coverage, and preexisting conditions—and thus can help bring down Obamacare.

A winning alternative to Obamacare needs to solve the three core concerns that Americans had with our health-care system even before Obamacare was passed—but as important as what an alternative would do is what it wouldn’t do.
